In 2015, a ballet company in Washington State presented Holly Claus: The Ballet of Dreams with a libretto written by Brittney Ryan. The ballet was directed and choreographed by Idalee Hutson-Fish.[5] As of 2020, film composer Laurent Eyquem was composing an original score to accompany a planned revival of the ballet.[6]

In 2005, the United States Post Office recognized the fictionalized setting of the Holly Claus novels as an address. Children can send mail to Holly by addressing their letter to: "Holly Claus, The Royal Palace, The City of Forever, The Land of the Immortals." The Post Office has assigned The Land of Immortals its own zip code of 90209–1225. Ryan replies to the letters from the perspective of Holly Claus.[7]
